In the corporate realm, Ayaan immerses himself in the demands of his work. The passage of 2-3 weeks renders him oblivious to Zainab's presence, focusing solely on the tasks at hand.

One morning, Ayaan summons Zainab to discuss a critical project. As she enters the room, he glances up from his work, and their eyes meet.
